adium,have webcam capabilities meh??most webcam's compatible with mac osx now..btw,why're u using 10.5.5?shouldn't it be 10.5.7 edi rite now?

This is what i'd done to my system,the default 120GB doesn't seem to be enuff for me,results in take out the hdd and changed it wif my seagate external hdd.

Mac: MacBook Aluminium
Good RAM: Kingston KVR DDR3 1066 SODIMM
(done the memtest and no problem at all)
HDD change : Seagate 320GB
Model No: ST9320320AS

Comment : the ram runs very well wif the macbook alu. there's no significant performance gain from the increase of 1gb (default is 2GB). But much easier to run many instance and less lagginess using virtual box.
For the HDD,the seagate works very fine,i think as long as u the upgraded hdd thickness match wif the size of the hdd area inside and the RPM not more than the default hdd speed,everything will be just fine.(higher RPM than default could cause u a vibration problem as the hdd just at ur palmrest)

is it ok if using a time machine only?after format,then just restore using time machine. should be fine rite?

sure speed better than before lah,exspecially when u loads high memory programs..

r u sure?how would 1GB+2GB setup make ur MB slower meh?if it's true,then i'll have to change my another ram asap lor...now running 1+2gb..i thought of waiting for 4GB to change the 1GB stick..
btw, xjunkie max RAM for 32 bit only 3GB..if u're gonna go further,u hav to change to 64bit system,which means SL.heheh....

but the problem's crucial rams are hard to find in m'sia..usually shops will ask u to buy those kingston KVR one.btw, as far as i'm using it, it works fine without any prob.

err... i think for the heat of rams, it depends on the build of the ram itself. hotter feeling on the outside doesn't means the rams isn't good. it might be caused by a good heat dissipation,rite? btw, as long as it's in the range of operating temp, there's nothing to worry....

i'd been using win 7 for few moments rite now,playing games.. no problem at all with the drivers of windows 7 as new macbooks using nvidia graphic and intel proc. the only driver that i can't install rite now's the isight driver.the windows can't install it properly. others, all running very good. played PES2010 with no problem at all.

if u're on a tight budget, i would suggest u just buy the cheapest MBP, then upgrade to 500gb urself. cost of 500gb i think around rm400 lah..nor sure the price.

i'd been using kingston value ram for almost a year already(macbook late2008), nothing problem with the mac so far. but, just like our fellow members said, it's better to buy the apple one. i might just being lucky this time.

yerps. no problem at all..

just to be safe, i would recommend u guys to run a hardware test using ur installation dvd to test run ur newly added RAMs. if everything's working fine then ur system will be fine.
